Warren
(1888 - 1915)



Warren station was situated on the New Brighton Branch railway of the Seacombe Hoylake & Deeside Railway (SH&DR) which opened from Bidston to Wallasey on January 2 1888 and through to New Brighton on March 30 1888

Warren station was located on the section of line between Wallasey and New Brighton but the station was in an isolated coastal location surrounded by sand dunes. Being in an isolated position passenger numbers at Warren were low and despite the development of a golf course to the south of the station the service was reduced and most trains passed through without stopping.

The New Brighton branch was built as a double-track railway and Warren had two platforms. The main facilities were on the up platform (Birkenhead direction) in a single-storey building and a simple waiting shelter was provided on the down platform (New Brighton direction). A barrow crossing linked the platforms

The December 1895 timetable showed Warren as having only 2 trains per day and for the rest of its existence the station mostly had 1 train each way per day therefore Warren station was closed on October 1 1915. The down platform was demolished shortly after closure
